I rarely wear creams because to me, they are scary. There’s nothing in them to distract from a crummy paint job, lol. No shimmer, no flakies, no holo, so you can see every mistake! I think as I’ve gotten much better at painting my nails and cleaning up the edges, creams aren’t as scary! This… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- OPI 7th and Flower
Starbeam is a newer brand to me, I picked up a few shades. Here is Space Cowboy. It’s kind of an egg yolk color, orangy-yellow. It had a bit of a tricky formula. I had to let the previous coat kind of dry down, if I put the next coat on too soon it kind… Read More Try More Thursday- Starbeam Space Cowboy, Glam Best Day Ever, Prism Polish 69 Dude
I picked up a few Manglaze polishes awhile ago when they had a sale. Their names are hilarious, and they all dry matte. This Royal Matte-rimoaning. It’s a deep blue. The formula was great, even though it’s a matte polish- sometimes matte polishes dry super fast, but this didn’t! I did just two coats for… Read More Try Them Tuesday- Manglaze Royal Matte-rimoaning, Vanessa Molina A Very Merry Unbirthday, Anchor and Heart Figgin’ Amazing
OPI did a whole collection of Bond Girls in their Liquid Sand (textured) finish- way the heck back in 2013. Randomly, a few years ago (years after the collection had come out), the whole set was available for cheap on Groupon! So I snagged it. This is Pussy Galore, the light pink! People either love… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Pussy Galore
I don’t have many Lacquester polishes- I think I got one or two from Hella Handmade Creations, then the rest I got from Color4nails. This is such a pretty color! It’s an interesting mix of flakies in the soft nude base. I don’t think I have anything else like it in my large collection. I… Read More Try More Thursday Lacquester Promises of Peonies, Powder Perfect Principessa, 77 Nail Lacquer A Cure Worth Fighting For
I love a good coral pink polish, and Moon Shine Mani’s Honor’s Cotton Candy is certainly a good coral pink polish!! It’s so pretty- and as you see on my middle finger, there are random gold hex glitters in it. I didn’t fish for any, they are very sporadic and come out just fine, there… Read More Try Them Tuesday- Moon Shine Mani Honor’s Cotton Candy, Frenzy Sugar Baby, Illyrian Ultraviolence
I pulled out a bright orange Tonic I hadn’t tried yet, Orange Crush. I consider this more of a summery orange, though it would be beautiful in fall (or any time you want an orange!) It is a shimmer, and you can see it has some brush strokes through it, but not terrible. It is… Read More Try Them Tuesday- Tonic Orange Crush, Painted Polish Jammin’ in Jellies, I Scream Nails Speck-a-holic
Atomic Polish, this is amazing! Electric Gecko. You can see a bit of vnl, but that doesn’t bother me. I love this blue with pink shimmer! I love a blue with pink shimmer, and this is unique as it’s a tad on the turquoise side, as a lot of my other blues with pink shimmer… Read More Try Them Tuesday- Atomic Polish Electric Gecko, Bow Lime and Night Owl Lacquer Bow Ties are Cool
So I’ve had these Orlys for awhile, and I decided to try them alone and with the Lisa Frank topper!! So here we go. First up is Orly Vintage. This is such a pretty color. Is it turquoise? Mint green? Almost a Tiffany blue with a touch of green? Aqua? I’m not sure, but it’s… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- a bunch of Orlys!
Happy 4th of July! I wore two manis for the holiday- one on Sunday, one today. Sunday I wore Cirque Firecracker and Painted Polish Let Freedom Bling as my accent nail (over Color Club French Tip). Firecracker is a magnetic, and it was a breeze to magnetize. Let Freedom Bling is a red and blue… Read More Happy 4th of July 2022
